MIAMI — A Miami jury returned a $100 million verdict Thursday against a retired Roman Catholic priest accused of sexually abusing dozens of boys over many years — an amount unlikely to ever be collected, but one a victim’s attorney said sends a strong message to child predators.
“It sets a standard,” said attorney Jeff Herman, who represented Andres Sousana in the case against the priest, Neil Doherty. “Now we know what a jury thinks about these cases. No. 2, it sends a message that we hope will protect other children.”
